What can SFP's do better than STP's and vice versa?

Inspired from that other thread.

STP's.

Can stay calm in tight situations
can put things together
always looking for adventure/danger
isn't too nosy about other people's business


I'm new to this MBTI thing but yeaaah, lets hear pplz opinions.

I'll post a few comments on this thread until it spirals into a troll war, which is hopefully never

SFPs
- more laid back
- better performers
- slightly better with the opposite sex (although ESFPs, ESTPs and ENFPs are all usually wonderful with the opposite sex)
- more empathetic
- less competitive
- better suited for more jobs (the ESTPs I've met all seem like the only things they could be are entrepreneurs, athletes, newscasters, salesmen or criminals. the flip side is that these are all pretty cool careers with the exception of the salesman)
- less manipulative


STP
- better in stressful situations
- more competitive (I've listed this as both an advantage because it can be either)
- more enterprising and opportunistic (I use opportunistic in a complimentary way here)
- better at getting their agenda accomplished
- more motivated

Your post is like that Fortune Cookie game.

No troll here, I like to keep everyone happy (also like the Fortune Cookie game).

More so applies to ISPs than ESPs

- less competitive

I'd consider this another trait more suited to ISPs

- better suited for more jobs (the ESTPs I've met all seem like the only things they could be are entrepreneurs, athletes, newscasters, salesmen or criminals. the flip side is that these are all pretty cool careers with the exception of the salesman)

I think the functional combination of the ISTP is very interesting, they have the analytical precision of Ti, the environmental awareness of Se, then they have Ni to probe for deeper meaning and putting everything into a more all-encompassing perspective. I sure see alot of possibilities with that.

- less manipulative

This could apply to ESTPs(with their Fe) but probably less to ISTPs, ESFPs can be very manipulative and cunning too, actually I see ISTP as the least manipulative out of the SPs


STP
- better in stressful situations

Yeah STPs usually seem to have nerves of steal

- more competitive (I've listed this as both an advantage because it can be either)

ESTPs are usually very competitive, probably more suited to ESPs than ISPs

- more enterprising and opportunistic (I use opportunistic in a complimentary way here)
I think both groups of SPs can be opportunistic for different reasons

- better at getting their agenda accomplished
- more motivated

I don't know if this has much to do with being STP or SFP

one creates the foundation and the other brings creates home, comfort and turns an empty soulless husk into something sought after, desired. isfp`s fill in the empty parts of reality with color and warm moments, where it would be bland, sometimes creating an almost magical ambiance.

true. INFPs and ENFPs do the same thing in more N ways (ie, with stories, video games and other forms of art that require a more verbal/conceptual aspect)

You really need to get a grip and stop spouting off stupidity in every other sentence.

You should be expecting those types of comments by now. It's become a constant flow, rather than a dribble.

You're right. Now we're fucking drowning in them.
